The burgers are delicious with some chopped chilli and coriander instead of the parsley and thyme; or try adding some cayenne pepper, ground cumin and coriander to burgers using minced lamb. These spicy burgers are great served with a tablesppon of yoghurt or sweet chilli sauce. Instead you could add one tablespoon of chilli sauce and one chopped fresh chilli into the raw burger mixture instead of herbs.
Do make sure the meat has a little of fat in it, or the burgers will be very dry when cooked.

I always use a handful of porridge oats to the mixture.. which makes it go further and you do not taste them
Do you use sweet chilli or just normal chilli sauce in the burger?
Tried it with the Chilli and the family loved them
